Compositosphaeridium bulgaricum Erkmen and Sarjeant 1980

"*bulgaricum" Erkmen and Sarjeant, 1980, p.66–67.  Holotype: Dodekova, 1974, pl.1, figs.4–6, text-fig.1, as Compositosphaeridium costatum, designated by Erkmen and Sarjeant (1980, p.67).  NOW Compositosphaeridium Dodekova.  Originally Compositosphaeridium Erkmen and Sarjeant, subsequently (and now) Compositosphaeridium Dodekova.  Taxonomic senior synonym: Hystrichosphaeridium (as Compositosphaeridium) polonicum, according to Dodekova (1990, p.9) — however, Stancliffe and Sarjeant (1990, p.203) retained Compositosphaeridium bulgaricum.  Following I.C.N. Article 55.1, the species name Compositosphaeridium bulgarium is validly published even though the generic name Compositosphaeridium Erkmen and Sarjeant is illegitimate.  Age: Bathonian.
